Brain serotonin synthesis capacity in obsessive-compulsive disorder: effects of cognitive behavioral therapy and sertraline. [PDF]
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are both effective treatments for some patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), yet little is known about the neurochemical changes related to these ...

The upstream metabolism of tryptophan has been described as a metabolic node in glioblastoma. Here the authors show that the downstream metabolism of tryptophan, resulting in the accumulation of quinolinate in glioblastoma, contributes to pro-tumorigenic

Microbial Tryptophan Metabolism Tunes Host Immunity, Metabolism, and Extraintestinal Disorders
The trillions of commensal microorganisms comprising the gut microbiota have received growing attention owing to their impact on host physiology. Recent advances in our understandings of the host–microbiota crosstalk support a pivotal role of microbiota ...

Disturbed amino acid metabolism in HIV: association with neuropsychiatric symptoms
Blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine, as well as of the tryptophan breakdown product kynurenine, are found to be elevated in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients.

Abnormal Tryptophan Metabolism in HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection
Host metabolism has recently gained more attention for its roles in physiological functions and pathologic conditions. Of these, metabolic tryptophan disorders generate a pattern of abnormal metabolites that are implicated in various diseases.

Tryptophan metabolism and disposition in cancer biology and immunotherapy
Tumours utilise tryptophan (Trp) and its metabolites to promote their growth and evade host defences. They recruit Trp through up-regulation of Trp transporters, and up-regulate key enzymes of Trp degradation and down-regulate others.
